There is still time to catch outdoor entertainment at The Freeman Stage. Located at 31556 Winterberry Parkway, Selbyville, DE 19975. Just a few miles west of Fenwick Island, Delaware. The programs are diverse and there is something for everyone. You sit outdoors, under the stars, and when there is a full moon, it is a priceless place to be. The website is http://www.freemanstage.org.
It was such a nice evening. Something to eat; outdoors at The Cove….hamburgers and salads, waiting for the show to start. Assigned seats for this evening’s performance, otherwise you can bring your chairs.
Friday evening Shelley, Susan, and I went to see Invincible: A Tribute to Michael Jackson. At least I was going to recognize all the songs. You know, songs like Billie Jean, Beat It, Thriller, etc. etc. The show celebrated the King of Pop’s Birthday. You can find Invincible: A Tribute to Michael Jackson on Facebook.
It was a high energy performance so there was no way we were going to stay put on our seats. Some of us went to the back and danced the show away.
It was surreal to see these performers (there were a couple of Michael Jacksons), look, sing, talk, and dance like him.
It was a full house at The Freeman Stage and the show was incredible. Tic Toc, Tic Toc….there is still time. Check the website http://www.freemanstage.org.
Have a great Labor Day Week-End!!
January 29th, 2011
Well, if we can get through the month of February, we will be in great shape. If you are visiting this week-end the Beaches, it is cold; but very pretty, as well.
Even though it is cold and quiet at the beaches, as I was walking my dog, Addy, this morning I noticed buds on the pear trees. I hope that is a sign that winter will not last another 6 weeks. Wishful thinking? I think so.

This Wednesday’s film is Bomber. It is a bittersweet comedy. Alistar and Vallerie have been planning a special trip to Germany for a very long time. When their son Ross stops by the house to send them off, happenstance turns into an impromptu family road trip of the most tortuous kind. Alistar berates Ross for all that he is not in life, while Valerie tries to keep the peace. It is soon discovered that Alistar’s reason for the often comic sometimes painful trip is to shed a guilt he’s been carrying for years. Ultimately, the family learns they need each other more than they imagined. Not rated, Runtime is 85 minutes.

Two Rooms, Play by Lee Blessing; directed by Ocean City, Maryland’s own Kyler Taustin and presented by the Brown Box Theatre Project. The venue? The beautiful Globe Theatre at 12 Broad St., Berlin, Maryland.
Monday and Tuesday – matinee at 1:30 p.m. The evening performance will be at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets: $35 per person. $50 per person will let you enjoy a prix fixed 3 course dinner at the Globe; seating is between 5 and 6 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday.
“Two Rooms is a juxtaposition of three ethical, emotional and political perspectives to the on going crisis involving the Middle East. The story surrounds Lainie, the wife of a hostage in Beirut, and her struggle to cope with the media, the government, and their attempts to guide her through two opposing courses of action in regard to her husband’s situation. She has stripped the office in their home so that she can symbolically share in her husband’s ordeal. But in this battle between her own emotional connection and the media and government’s logical though opposing ideologies, Lainie is forced to realize that she lives in a world where action to either extreme has much risk but that inaction can make you a hostage as well.”
Need more details and tickets? Please visit www.brownboxtheatre.org. You can also purchase the tickets at The Globe.
Enjoy….talk to you later….
November 7th, 2010
What a difference a few weeks make!! Took a walk around Rehoboth yesterday, Saturday, and by the looks of the Boardwalk and the beach you would have thought there were no visitors in town. It was pretty, though. I like it quiet once in a while.
Rehoboth Avenue was pretty crowded, though. Everything is still open, french fries, candy, popcorn and the stores have plenty of sales.
I decided to go to Baltimore Avenue. This has been the new home of the Clear Space Theatre Company. They also changed the name from Productions to Theatre Company, as well. They have had a great season.
I know this building well because many years ago this was the Epworth Church and in it was a great pre-school, which my youngest son and friends attended.
Clear Space Theatre Company is located at Celebration Mall on 20 Baltimore Ave. in Rehoboth Beach. This street is also the home of many of our most popular restaurants. The Tel. is 302-227-2270 and the website is www.clearspacetheatre.org.
It has been a successful season, but it is not over yet. It is an on-going season to the delight of all of us, residents, locals, natives and visitors.
I am urging you to visit their website because you will find so much information; there is so much going on; upcoming events, purchasing of tickets and education.
The Clear Space Theatre Company’s mission is “to inspire audiences, artists, and students through high quality performances and educational experiences”.
Before I forget, this afternoon at 3 p.m. is the last performance of Thorton Wilder’s, Our Town. This Pulitzer-winning drama of a turn of a century New England town is arguably the most famous play in American Theatre.
But, if you are not able to catch this performance there are still so many other events in the near future.
Next Saturday, November 13th is the NYC Day Trip to see ELF! The Musical, based on the Will Ferrell Movie.
Bus will depart Rehoboth K-Mart at 7 a.m. to arrive in New York by 11 a.m. You will then have time to shop, eat, and explore before and after the show.
Meet at the Al Hirscfeld Theatre for ELF. Depart New York at 7 p.m. to return to Rehoboth by 11 p.m.
The cost? $150 per person. This includes transportation, tips and tolls, ticket to the show and breakfast. To register, please contact David Button, the Company Manager at 302-227-2270.
I was sent a press release and I think it is worth passing to you:
Clear space to Showcase their Rising Stars. Each semester, dozens of children get one step closer to their dream of performing on Broadway when they participate in the Clear Space Theatre Company’s Broadway Bound program.
Students in grades 1-8 meet once a week for a 10 week semester, focusing on 3 components of performance – acting, dance and voice.
The students also receive instruction in dance from Clear Space Executive Director Ken Skrzesz, who earned his MFA in dance and choreography from UNC-Greensboro, as well as vocal instruction from Artistic Director Doug Yetter, a graduate of New York University’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program.
The students have been working, this semester, on numbers like “I Got Rhythm, Nice Work if You Can Get It, and California, Here I Come”.
On Tuesday, November 23rd at 5:30 p.m. they will have the opportunity to showcase their semester’s studies in acting, dance and voice. Tickets are $5.00 and will be available at the door on the evening of the performance.
Again, please check the website for more info. on this program.
Later on in December, starting on Thursday December 2nd, Scrooge, that Holiday tradition loved by many will be the performance until Sunday, December 12th. Check the website for more info.
Scrooge – this original musical version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, continues the family holiday tradition. A holiday adventure led by ghosts and a whole cast of merry-makers.
Have a great Day….talk to you later…..
